There aren't many reptile hobby "daddies" still out there, and he's a unique one.💚 These types of NERD vids are my favorite though, when he successfully provides far better and more educated medical treatment to the clearly quite loved animals in his care than most vets could ever hope to provide in these situations. Most importantly to ME, it's important to him that these procedures are not just humane but as painless as possible, so I can actually enjoy watching and learning instead of having to turn it off in a critical rage, hahaha.

They take in animals and there are tons of reasons why they just can’t take care of them anymore.

These guys are reasonable enough to understand if someone comes to them and gives the reptile to the guys personally knowing it will be taken care of. The original owner/dumbasses just dropped them off without making sure the animal was taken care of. If they didn’t notice the box and snakes on such a hot day, things could have gotten a lot worst.

[@ryanpayne7707]

@@shadowwriter329 TBF, don't most places refuse to let you adopt/buy another animal if you surrender it? My parents had to take a plott hound, whom the MDSPCA said was cat friendly, back after it tried to kill the cat. (Even the two cats that are okay with dogs ended up swatting at it and running away.) Apparently, this same dog had done this twice before, and the MDSPCA has a "three strike" policy: three failed adoptions and the animal is euthanized. (We didn't know this before we surrendered her back to them, granted, they knew she was not cat friendly.) As a result, my parent's are now barred from adopting through the MDSPCA. They got a Lahasa Apso/ Shiz Tzu mix from an online adoption agency, had him for five years until he passed away, and now have a chihuahua (also adopted from the same agency.)

Watching yall is amazing. I am not in a place in my life where I can take care of any animals but I still loving watching and learning for when I am. Thank you

[@Emma-cq9oy]

I don't even own reptiles and I value what Kevin and nerd team do 😅

[@acemackin2750]

Keven McCurley is one of many but in my opinion he’s the G.O.A.T of reptiles in general. This man has a plethora of information that is very valuable and informative. I just want to say thank you I love what you do for the reptile 🦎 community. Idk why your channel is just now starting to grow! I remember watching nerds channel with only 25k. When it should be at a couple million….! Just saying 👍🏽💯👌🏽🐍🙌🏼🦎

[@leahpetrick6958]

You’re amazing! Love how you show what’s wrong and how to cure them . Anyone watching can tell how knowledgeable you are and the fact you love caring for them. Keep up the good work .

[@heatherwarner865]

For those saying this is fake, it literally happens all the time at rescues. I used to volunteer and people would drop off anything in the middle of the night to get around the surrender fees, or they were too embarrassed. A lot of times it's a sick animal that needs lots of vet care and the person can't afford it. In certain states they have places where you can literally leave your human infant and walk away.

[@mizzshortie907]

I wish they would have just done it the proper way and called but at least they cared enough to drop them at NERD

[@lisamaynard9304]

You heard Kevin say there's a fee to drop animals because of they need vetted and all. Some ppl drop their animals because they can no longer afford them. Therefore they afford a surrender fee either. Sad situation really 💔

[@gggthsb]

The thing is, if you are upfront and you tell them what's going on, I'm sure there will be found a way that fits for both parties. Just dropping your animals off and hoping they get found before they die is never, under any circumstances, the right thing to do.

[@joelgonzales8342]

Pretty sure this was staged.

[@MarinoiaParajiuana]

Really like the medical/husbandry breakdowns. Have a great day!

[@paulinejackson3227]

Kevin THANK YOU 🙏🏻 You and your team are inspirational caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable Earth Angels. I feel so much better knowing that you are doing these blogs, educating and empowering people with making better choices for their reptiles. When you know better you do better. God bless you Kevin and team. 🙏🏻♥️🐍🦎🐊🐢♥️🙏🏻

[@ElveeKaye]

"Is this the only thing loose in the box?" "That we know of." Sounds like the beginning of a movie where nothing good comes out of the box and a lot of people get eaten.

[@pjcoombs2868]

Kevin has so much knowledge to share. His passion for these creatures is so pure and raw. My question is...do you always open unknown animals in rooms with your animals? Don't you worry about mites on incoming animals infesting your room?

[@NewEnglandReptile]

Generally no we have an area for that but Donny got involved and they brought it upstairs to film and show me. K I did not find living mites which was great.

[@celestialchaoscustomsoaps2653]

Currently looking at my 6 week old puppy that was rescued out of a train car with her 5 siblings. People suck🤨

[@justjanie7252]

My Dears, I have never seen a man like Kevin that is so knowledgeable to explain to us in layman terms all of these animals are just creepers to me .I live in Florida so they're everywhere but by the same token,I am amazed and I hope that people that have these animals watch his shows and not be afraid to call him for any advice because this man is like amazing.I worked in pharmacy so I know what I'm listening to. I mean he is like a doctor and a pharmacist combined and a therapist . That's a big deal, when you have animals that cannot talk to you. I am so amazed of his work and how he explains it and dumbs it down for us. So thank you very much from the bottom of my heart even though I would never own any of these creepers. You are so passionate about your work and you are appreciated and you are amazing and don't forget that. Thank you ! Best, Mary Jane in New Port Richey Florida

[@brittanysurfusasmr]

My first video from this channel and I can honestly say I learned more knowledge of reptiles than I have from any other video. Also it's so easy to see how much these people care for these animals. 💕

[@Tonyrocket]

So sad, absolutely beautiful snakes. Can’t believe you got a nile croc one time that’s NUTS that people actually try to care for those in New England. Unless they have a green house or something I feel like it would be near impossible to care for a nile croc up here. Although the Nile croc probably still has a better attitude than a iguana 😂😂

[@Bmoore295]

The box saying "sorry" on it makes me sad.

[@leafystreet]

cant believe this is my first time seeing this 2 years after it was posted. I love watching kevin drop knowledge

[@divine14344]

I'm a new subscriber and this is my first video and I'm watching it with admiration on how you guys handles the animals and you taking care of them also the knowledge about the reptiles is so fascinating. God bless your hearts for taking care of this lovely creatures 🙏 ill be watching all your videos from now on. I'm a fan 👍😊

[@akamaddog7161]

You guys warm my heart. I have no reptiles at this time and simply watch your videos to be inspired. Kevin really has such a gentle way with these animals. Thank you to all of you at NERDS. 🙏

[@jamiecandy6589]

With all of the crap going on I'm amazed at how Kevin handled not only the animals but also played devils advocate when it came to the animals and their situation.

[@torylangley3747]

this mans knew the snake touching it for half a second thru the bag. WHAT A G!

[@WittyOriginalUsername]

Its almost as if he knew beforehand because its staged 🧐🧐 Its an easy conclusion, especially since the intro. Unless you’re a child. Or have the mind of a child.

[@M0onflower1]

I love this channel, the whole store reminds me of Phoenix Herpetological sanctuary because the amount of surrenders there are, for instance at Phoenix Herp they can get up to 5 surrenders each day, it’s honestly so sad how these animals just get perched at pet shops like pet smart only to get tossed away at animal sanctuary’s instead of getting a good home but it’s nice to know that there are people like the people at NERD that take care of these animals. Ever since I found out about these sanctuaries I started to just get my reptiles from them to help support these amazing places and I started volunteering at Phoenix herp for free primarily because I love these animals, and these amazing people who take care of them. Thank you

[@dovaahqueen7421]

You guys do amazing work and it's just disgusting how people feel the need to be shady about surrendering there animals! I wish people would just call, explain there situations and I know the wonderful people at NERD would be understanding!!

[@Tigenraam]

I for one REALLY appreciate these videos. Keep them up guys, the wealth of medical knowledge Kevin has is invaluable to keepers

[@littlebrraatt]

I absolutely love that you explain all the medical stuff that you have learned! Thank you so much.

[@DrRainbowBecca]

You can just tell how much this guy loves reptiles. the kindness and care. it's amazing. i'm always so glad to see this kind of person in the world.

[@DrRainbowBecca]

btw, i'm scared of repitles but i subscribed because i hope you know people out there appreciate the work you do!

[@heleninglis9961]

Amazing how Kevin can tell what snake it is just by touching it through the bag

[@WittyOriginalUsername]

Almost as if he knew beforehand 🧐

[@WittyOriginalUsername]

You should also question the very beginning of the video. Obviously set up. Why was he filming nothing and just so happened to be filming as his buddy walked in and told him something happened?

[@karyannfontaine8757]

Love the dumped Burmese Python. I hope she can make a recovery and live a stress free life. The Ball python male looks well and I do like the Nicaraguan female. I have a Nicaraguan male and have been looking for a female. Will you be selling her?

[@lue5776]

Didn’t they say they’d find them homes when they get healthy?

[@PreCiseIV]

This is such an awesome video. Your knowledge base, coupled with your genuine concern for these animals, is inspiring! Awesome stuff man! Great work!

[@Nebula_Ultra]

This is fake. He just happened while he was filming the office door? Good thing he had the camera rolling...

[@UmbraGhostie]

poor babies. I understand that sometimes, situations change, and you can no longer care for an animal, especially during this time. but please don't just dump your animal. you are exposing that animal to extreme stress, and a potentially long and painful death via freezing, cooking alive, parasites, viruses, being hit by cars, or predation. not to mention the effect it could have on the local fauna. please, if you can no longer take care of your animal, go to a suitable rescue center and surrender your animal responsibly.

[@tracysaxby3723]

I could literally watch you all day! So interesting and informative.

[@kerry3546]

People are unreal, it’s so sad. Thank you for taking and rehabbing them. I’m from the area and the extreme temperature fluctuations around here are crazy. On the one hand, it’s good they don’t just whither away, but at least give you guys a call to tell you they’re out in your parking lot..

[@yeyga7960]

Just found this channel and it makes me so happy. I love snakes and I'm so glad people like you are taking care of them
